Grilled Beef-Stuffed Peppers on The Big Green Egg

Nuke1855

So every now and then I love to prepare a ” healthy meal on my Big Green Egg ! I love this recipe for grilled stuffed peppers with ground beef. You can substitute with and ground protein of your choice ( turkey , chicken, leaner beef ) This recipe is for 8 servings, you can reduce by cutting the number of peppers and protein that you use.

Ingredients

• 1 each large sweet yellow, orange, red and green pepper
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon each minced fresh thyme, oregano and basil
• 1-1/2 teaspoons onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 2 pounds ground turkey or beef
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Marinara sauce, warmed

  Directions

• Cut peppers in half lengthwise; remove stems and seeds. Set aside. In a large bowl, combine the egg, onion, bread crumbs, garlic powder,herbs, onion powder, salt and pepper.
• Good ground beef in a skillet until almost golden brown. Do not cook all the way as the big green egg will do the rest.
• Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Spoon into pepper halves; brush with oil.
• Prepare the big green egg  for indirect heat, ( plate setter legs down ) 300 degrees is optimal.
• Place peppers over-drip pan. Grill, covered, over indirect medium heat for 30-35 minutes or until beef is no longer pink and peppers are tender.

Water hazard?  No wonder it looked so familiar  

(I also confuse sand traps for beaches.)
